NHL insider Rick Dhaliwal has confirmed that there will be no supplemental discipline handed down to Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov for his elbow on Filip Hronek. The <a href='https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/game-day/canucks-hronek-pulled-from-game-against-hurricanes-by-concussion-spotter' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Vancouver Canucks had to finish Friday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes without a key piece</a> of their blue line. Filip Hronek left the ice with just 12.7 seconds remaining after being pulled out by the concussion spotter and did not return, confirmed Head Coach Adam Foote. <h3>What happened on the play</h3> Replays suggested a play with 2:05 left in regulation as the likely offender. The blueliner had just chipped the puck up ice when he was caught with an elbow from Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov. The contact appeared to catch Hronek high, and while the play incensed many Canucks fans and media types, no penalty was called. A key update arrived Saturday courtesy of NHL insider Rick Dhaliwal: there is officially no discipline coming for Svechnikov. There is no discipline coming for Andrei Svechnikov and his elbow on Filip Hronek last night. - Rick Dhaliwal <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DhaliwalSports/status/1989725465066754136'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <h3>Why no penalty was called on the play</h3> While the elbow could have been called on the ice, league review determined that Hronek's own movement as he played the puck significantly contributed to the contact, shifting the impact point toward his head rather than his arm. That explanation has left many in Vancouver unsatisfied, especially after Hronek's agent publicly voiced his displeasure. Here we go again! The National Concussion League. Open season on NHL players' brains. No call on the play. If only the referee were in a position to have a clear view of the play. - Allan Walsh <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/walsha/status/1989528084794753438'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> The Canucks will now turn their attention to the second stop of their three-game road trip, a Sunday affair in Tampa Bay. The Lightning swept both matchups a year ago and have taken nine of their last 10 versus Vancouver. Puck drop is at 2:00 p.m. PT. The big-picture hope for the Vancouver Canucks is that Hronek will avoid missing any time, and this incident won't derail what has been a strong start for their defensive unit. There's a tough opponent awaiting them next, and the Canucks will have to regroup in a hurry with their road swing continuing. Let the past be in the past, and focus on working hard in the future.
